Good for Gainesville, Fla

That's where you are? If so, phew.

Right hook over the very warm Atlantic. Could this be one of those storms that loops, strengthens and hits again?

Would that make it Bidalia?

[billy.pilgrim]

My always favorite map showing steering fronts. That big H hopefully will eliminate any chance of a phase 2 returning to land.

Now they're saying Cat 1 all the way up into SC.

Now they're saying Cat 1 all the way up into SC.

Who is saying that? A TS across the southern tip of SC as it thankfully moves into the Atlantic as another Fish Storm seems much more likely to me.

Did you look at the map I posted.

Savannah and Hilton Head are going to have a bad day also.

Yeah, no matter if it takes an earlier turn than the WU map (the same noaa map I posted plus experts and more - I'm pretty sure) there will be wet water, big wet water in Savannah and Hilton Head and wind too.

Hilton Head might even get some surge.

[GoCubsGo]

Weather Hunk Jim Cantore is broadcasting from the second or third story from a building on Cedar Key as the surge comes in.

Scary.

Just watched. The Gulf isn't but a few feet deep for miles beginning around Hernando County up through the Big Bend. Prime for surge. There will surely be damage, but old construction on Cedar Key has been replaced. We'll see.
There may be more ptsd property damage.

"ptsd property damage"?

They thought it might reach Cat 4 before landfall, but it didn't. Must have been close.
Cat 2 all the way to the FL-GA line.
Cat 1 or close to it right through Charleston. Surge this eve.

There was a disappearing "than". Makes no sense without it.

Ah.

New mantra?

Hong Kong will see a Cat 3 near miss.

Shanghai gets a Cat 1 on 9/3.

[billy.pilgrim]

Looks like good news. It's moving at 20 mph. If you get it, it won't be for long.
And they usually speed up over land

Powerful, but coulda been worse. Still:
The ways Hurricane Idalia made history

China is getting buffeted by 2 hurricanes and there may be a 3rd en route.
https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/ ... hoon-saola
https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/ ... orm-haikui (will also hit Taipei)
https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/ ... orm-kirogi (will also hit southern Japan)

As I may have said, only 7 people live in the Big Bend area
And my favorite burger/ gumbo stop when traveling through the Big Bend definitely has another mark on the wall (actually the surge marks are on a piling near the bar.

Wasn't terrible:

We will Be open tomorrow Friday with a band. Thanks to all my fantastic employees and friends....

Cedar Key, 140 miles away, did worse. I've been there and can picture the flooding.

In Cedar Key, Hurricane Idalia turned a ‘haven for artists’ into a flooded wreck

Well good and not so good.

Remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia bring rain, coastal flooding for millions
Ophelia, which made landfall in North Carolina on Saturday, brought heavy rain and gusty winds to a large swath of the East Coast over the weekend. (video)

Many inches of rain, winds up to 83mph, storm surge up to 5 feet affecting tens of millions.

Next up Philippe?

[Vrede too]

East Coast and New England getting drenched again.

"Just" a TS, but the Sat view shows that it's massively wide. Landfall in Maine technically Sun am.

[Vrede too]

Whoa, this came out of nowhere, a lowly TS this time yesterday:

Hurricane Otis

Hurricane Otis Makes Rare Category 5 Landfall Near Acapulco, Mexico, After Explosive Intensification
... It's the strongest hurricane on record to hit this part of Mexico.

Poor Mexico

Southern Hemisphere Cat 4
Tropical Cyclone Lola

Extreme Southeastern Bangladesh, Cat 1
Tropical Cyclone Hamoon

Kutupalong refugee camp

Kutupalong refugee camp (Bengali: কুতুপালং শরণার্থী শিবির) is the world's largest refugee camp. It is in Ukhia, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, inhabited mostly by Rohingya refugees that fled from ethnic and religious persecution in neighboring Myanmar. It is one of two government-run refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, the other being the Nayapara refugee camp....

Not good in a cyclone
